Uses of the Box Lounge.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, June ia new device is the box
lounge, which is great thing for people short of
closet room or those living in apartments. The
seats lift up. and into it may be placed evening
dresses laid out their full length, which prevents
crushing. box lounge may be of home manu-
facture, easily; or if carpenter is convenient
have him make box, say five feet long by three
wide, then have notches made for Stats; over that
a small hair mattress, throw over that large
Turkish rug or a chenille piano cover pile up
three Or four sofa cushions and you have a very
handsome lounge, something that with sheets
and pillow cases, may be transformed into a
bed and dresses may be placed in the box
beneath The reason for the Stats instead
of cover is twofold In the first
place it makes the bed or.lounge easier, and in
the second place it is less weight to lift slat or
two at time to find the article of clothing you
may be in search of than it would be to lift a
large and heavy cover Some people prefer
small wire spring mattress for cover to the
box, which is on hinges at the back and lifts like
any other cover 1t is not heavy. young ar
fist friend of mine has of these lounges in
his studio. and he calls it multum in parvo. It
contains in the box his dress suit several pairs
of patent leather shoes. and some reserve boxes
of cigars, all of which l saw as he unfolded its
beauty and convenience to a party OF us. The
best of all was that he informed us the box cost
but 50 and the mattress Sc The Turkish rug
which covered it carelessly was one of his former
possessions EVELYN BAKER HARvIER

An Eccentric Drug.
Nineteenth Century.

Among the standard medicines
quoted in the medical books of Nu-
remburg of two hundred years ago
are "portions of the embalmed bodies
of mans flesh brought from the neigh
borhood of Memphis, where there are
many bodies that have been buried
for more than one thousand years,
called mumia, which have been en-
balmed with costly salves and bal
sans and smell strongly of myrrh,
aloes and other fragrant things" -.-
The learned doctors OF France, Ger
many and Italy all made great use of
this eccentric drug, and in the seven
teenth century grevious complaints
arose of its adulteration. NJ. Poinet,
chief apothecary to the French king,
records that the kings physician went
to Alexandria to judge for himself in
this matter, and, having made friends
with Jewish dealer in mummies,
was admitted to his storc-house, where
he saw piles of bodies. He asked
what kind of bodies were used and
how they were prepared. The Jew
informed him that he took such
bodies as he could get, whether they
died of some disease or of some con-
tagion.
He embalmed them with the sweep
ings of various old drugs, myrrh,
aloes, pitch and gums, wound them>
about with a cere cloth, and then
dried them in an oven, after which he
sent them to Europe, and marveled to
see tho Christians were lovers of such
filthiness. But even this revelation
did not suffice to put mummy physic
out of fashion, and We know that
Francis 1 of France always carried
with him a well-flled medicine chest,
of which this was the principal in
gredient.
A traveller also records how one of
his friends found in the tombs OF
Ghizeh jar carefully sealed, which
he opened and found to contain such
excellent honey that he could not re-
sist eating good meal of it, and was
only checked in his feast by drawing
out hair, whereupon he investigated
further and found the body of an an
cient Egyptian baby in good condi-
ton and adorned with jewels. He
does not record how he enjoyed that
meal in retrospect. Imagine dining
off the honeyed essence OF a baby
of Pharaoh

Evicting Settlers.

COMPLAINTS OF TERRIBLE CRUELTY
PRAcTIcED ON POOR PEOPLE IN IOWA.
A late Washington special says
The General Land Office is in receipt OF
information that British syndicate
which is said to have purchased a
large tract of land in Iowa from the
McGregor Western Railroad Company
is mercilessly evicting settlers whose
titles to the land, being in dispute,
are still in the courts. A settler
writes: women over sixty years CT
age, sick in bed, have been taken by
six men and carried out into a driv-
ing storm. Delicate women have had
their hands tied with cords till the
flesh was bruised and then dragged
shrieking from their homes. Children
have been born in sight of the band
of evictOrs. Strong men have been
run down by rutfians on horseback
and then handcuffed and dragged
from their little possessions. l might
60 on and multiply instances where
the sheriff, with writ of ejectment in
one hand and the British contract in
the other, gave these poor people no
hope. "Affidavits of the cruelty
practiced are being collected" says
the writer, "for us at Washington
next winter, and will be read in both
houses of Congress. They are ex-
pected to create sensation when the
people of the East are brought fully
to realize what the native American
pioneers are suffering at the hands OF
invaders"

AN exchange has succeeded in writ
ing a story that may never end,
founded on facts that are obvious.
Hippodromus taking his morning
walk in the streets of Lucignano,
comes upon Thcodectes, a laborer,
and says to him: Why are you al
ways at work." Theodectes answered
al am always at work to get more
money to buy more food to give me
strength to do more work to get more
money to buy" This is the begin
ing of the story without end, and the
facts on which it is founded, they are
without end also.
